Μετά τις διοργανώσεις της ECOWEEK στο Μιλάνο, την Αθήνα, τη Μέση Ανατολή και πριν την πραγματοποίηση των διοργανώσεων στην Πολωνία, Ιταλία, Δανία, Τουρκία, Σερβία και Ρουμανία, η ECOWEEK επιστρέφει στη Θεσσαλονίκη για δεύτερη φορά, για μια εβδομάδα οικολογικού σχεδιασμού, οικολογικής δραστηριότητας και καινοτομίας, σε αληθινές τοποθεσίες στην πόλη.

Φέτος που η Θεσσαλονίκη γιορτάζει 100 ελληνικής ανεξαρτησίας, η ECOWEEK 2012 σε συνερ-γασία με τον Δήμο Θεσσαλονίκης προγραμματίζει τη διεξαγωγή εργαστηρίων οικολογικού σχε-διασμού που στόχο έχουν να προσφέρουν στη Θεσσαλονίκη προτάσεις ‘πράσινου’ σχεδιασμού και μικρής κλίμακας διαμορφώσεις σε ανοιχτούς δημόσιους χώρους, πάρκα και σχολεία της Θεσ-σαλονίκης. Φέτος συμμετέχουν στην ECOWEEK περισσότεροι από 150 φοιτητές, αρχιτέκτονες και σχεδιαστές από την Ελλάδα, Αγγλία, Γερμανία, Νορβηγία, Ιταλία, Τουρκία και Σερβία. Με την ευκαιρία αυτή, θα ήθελα να πω ένα μεγάλο ευχαριστώ στους συνεργάτες και υποστηρικτές της ECOWEEK, που συνέβαλαν στην επιτυχή πραγματοποίηση της ECOWEEK 2012 στη Θεσσαλονίκη.

Σε συνεργασία με τον Δήμο Θεσσαλονίκης, προγραμματίζεται ότι μέσα στην εβδομάδα θα γίνει και η εφαρμογή ορισμένων προτάσεων. Το πείραμα αυτό γίνεται για πρώτη φορά στη Θεσσαλονί-κη και προσκαλούμε τη συνεργασία όλων των φορέων, ειδικών και ενδιαφερομένων για την επι-τυχία του, με την ελπίδα ότι το πείραμα αυτό θα ανοίξει το δρόμο για την εφαρμογή παρόμοιων παρεμβάσεων και σε άλλες πόλεις του κόσμου.

Η αστική μη-κερδοσκοπική εταιρεία ECOWEEK δημιουργήθηκε στην Αίγινα το 2005 με σκοπό την περιβαλλοντική ενημέρωση και ευαισθητοποίηση και την προώθηση των αρχών της αειφορί-ας. Σήμερα είναι ενεργή σε 10 χώρες στην Ευρώπη και τη Μέση Ανατολή.

 Ευχαριστούμε για τη συνεργασία,Δρ. Ηλίας Μεσσίνας Αρχιτέκτονας, Σύμβουλος ΠεριβάλλοντοςΙδρυτής και Πρόεδρος ECOWEEK

ECOWEEK 2012 SpeakersAfter the successful ECOWEEK events in Milano, Athens, the Middle East, and before taking off

to Krakow (Poland), Rome (Italy), Copenhagen (Denmark), Istanbul (Turkey), Belgrade (Serbia), and Bucharest (Romania), ECOWEEK is back in Thessaloniki for the second time, for an international week of ‘green’ projects and urban innovation and intervention!

ECOWEEK 2012 is hosted by AKTO Art & Design College, Olympio, DEI College and the Municipality of Thessaloniki, and is taking place in close cooperation with the City of Thessaloniki, and thanks to the support of the Goethe Institute, the UK Embassy, the British Council, the Embassy of Norway, and the Norwegian Institute. I take this opportunity to thank our partners this year for their cooperation and support in making ECOWEEK 2012 possible and successful.

ECOWEEK 2012 takes place at a time of financial and social crisis, and a time when change, innovation and intervention are essential. ECOWEEK 2012 is also taking place the year Thessaloniki is celebrating its 100 years of Greek independence. ECOWEEK, in cooperation with its partners, brings together speakers, young professionals, and workshop leaders from several countries around the world, including Germany, Norway, UK, Turkey, Serbia, and Italy, for a week of education, cooperation, dialogue, sustainable design, and innovative interventions in selected sites within the city: parks and schools.

During ECOWEEK 2012 a new initiative is also starting in Thessaloniki: it is called the ECOWEEK GREENHOUSE, a new international initiative by ECOWEEK for innovation and social and environmental entrepreneurship for young professionals. The GREENHOUSE is already planning pilot projects in Athens, Holon, and Jaffa, and is planning to expand also in Cyprus and Italy. For more information on the ECOWEEK GREENOUSE: www.ecoweekgreenhouse.org
